Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

      I did it to invite collaboration and connect with other developers with similar interests. FOSS is more about building communities than building software, after all.

      I did not anticipate that it could be (legally) used to dismantle the kinds of communities I wanted to build. (I did anticipate that it could be illegally used to that end, but historically that has tended to cause a Streisand Effect, so that risk seemed worth it.)

      Sure. Let’s see if they use it for endeavours in the same spirit.

      Or are you fine with they using this data for-profit without benefitting the public by also making it open?
